About
Jason Harris and Craig Basford decided they were going to do more than just brew the beers they’d been concocting in their man shed for years: they wanted to bring others along with them. So, more than a decade after they’d started making beer together in a rented farmer’s shed in the Barossa, when Big Shed Brewing Concern became a reality it came with an invitation to their peers: if you’re looking for somewhere to brew, we’ve got the space for you.

Boozy Fruit New England IPA from Big Shed Brewing Concern

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
I rated this 3.8 a few years back and wrote this - It's a freaking frosty fruit! So many childhood memories flossing back right now. But a second tasting tonight is less enjoyable. Boozy fruit is the right name. It has a strong aroma of overripe fruit. The taste is slightly cloying, with a surprisingly dry finish that tastes a bit like aspirin. My two tastings are like chalk and cheese.

Bottle. Very dark brown with a tan head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of mocha, sticky bread crusts, molasses, licorice, oak. It's not mere suggestion, I can smell slow roasted carrots. Quite sweet with heavy roasted malt that's almost acrid but is still struggling a mite to rein in the sugars. Very silky texture with lowish carbonation. Not hot but there's a real rumble of booze towards the end. There's quite a lot of bitterness but it doesn't do much other than gradually chop away at the sweetness. A bit of salt (as is Doc's wont). Drinks considerably above its weight.

From a 330ml bottle on 5/8/2017. My first ever carrot beer. Pours a deep brown with a medium head. The nose is interesting - some soy, caramel, chocolate, vegetable and booze. Flavour wise, it’s big and intense. Quite sweet up front with the chocolate and caramel, which is met by a big roasty, charred bitterness. It finishes a touch salty, but it’s not over the top in the scheme of things.Fullish bodied with soft carbonation. I don’t really get any carrot, yam or Belgian in it, but it’s a very pleasant impy none the less.
